How long have you been on the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) diet? Have you been feeling like you need a good curry recipe that will make you feel pampered? Then all you need is this ‘Chicken Kofta Curry‘ which is nothing but delicious soft chicken meatballs cooked in a creamy, smooth curry sauce. Sounds so yum […]
February being the month of our wedding anniversary (and Valentine’s Day of course), it always makes me want to bake something special and I try to create a new dessert every year.

“Me making a Mug Cake? No! That’s never going to happen!” Yes that was me until a few months ago! I really was against such sweet treats since I thought they would derail me from my healing journey. I also thought that cooking in a microwave oven was bad. Especially if you cooked stuff in […]

There is something incredibly delicious about this combination of bananas and coconut! If you have not tried them together, then you need to rectify that!

Tandoori Chicken is such a quintessential Indian dish that ALL Indian restaurants have that on their menu without fail! It also never fails to impress! The tenderness of the meat combined with the flavors of ginger, garlic, lime and of course the smoky flavor that comes from the ‘tandoor’ or the clay oven. Sounds […]
When I sent the above pic to my husband, his first reaction was ‘ What? Where did the worms come from?’ He He, I felt good – my worms looked real! Thanks to these gummy worm molds that I ordered from amazon. Making these was a breeze! Getting that dirty brownish green color for the worms […]
Yes it is that time of the year again! The festival season! Being a transplant from India settled in the US, the holiday season for us starts from September itself! Our celebrations first begin with Onam which is a harvest festival celebrated by southern Indians (yes that would be us 🙂 ) followed by Diwali […]
Fall is so beautiful…the colors, the weather and all the autumn vegetables! Yes I get equally excited about pumpkins and acorn squash as I get excited about blueberries in summer!
